chalice
The design of Katowice Main Train Station building intended the building to be resistant to tectonic movements therefore, the structure was based on 16 pillars popularly called ‘mushrooms’ or ‘chalices’. The whole building was 144 metres long, 54 metres wide and approximately 14,5 metres high. - https://issuu.com/bart_sasim/docs/unwanted-or-wanted-bart-sa... -page 13
The whole construction is held up by 16 chalice-like pillars which also form the roof. - https://issuu.com/bart_sasim/docs/unwanted-or-wanted-bart-sa... - page 28
